You can't just tell students what kind of classroom you want. You have to teach them how to build it with you.
We tell students to be respectful. Be responsible. Work together. Participate. Persevere. But when do they actually get to learn and practice what those things look like?
Create opportunities for students to work together, disagree respectfully, contribute, solve problems, persevere, lead, and take responsibility.
Imagine not having to manage every little thing.
Not because your students suddenly became perfect. Because they know what's expected, how to contribute, and how to take more responsibility for what happens in the classroom.
Less of your energy goes to repeating, reminding, correcting, and managing every little thing.
You don't need more stuff. You need to know what to do next.
That's why I created Teach Like a Top TEN™. Bring me what's actually happening in your classroom and let's figure out what needs attention and what to try next.
No giant resource library to dig through. Start where you are, grab what you need, try it in your classroom, and come back when you need help with the next move.
Start with the 21-Day Build Your Classroom™ Challenge and build from High Expectations, Relationships, and Student Voice.
Get small, timely classroom strategies and challenges you can use with what you're already teaching.
Bring your real classroom questions to our LIVE coaching and Q&As, or post in the community when you need feedback.
MEET SARAH
I spent years trying to get better at managing students. Then I changed what I was building before I had to manage.
I'm Sarah Legault, a former classroom teacher and instructional coach with 20+ years in education. For the first part of my career, I thought becoming a better teacher meant getting better at classroom management.
Eventually, I realized I didn't want to get better at managing students. I wanted to build a classroom that didn't require me to manage every little thing. That shift changed my teaching and became the foundation of Teachers Empowerment Network.
“The teacher is still the leader. But the teacher doesn't have to be the only person making the classroom work.”
— Sarah Legault, Founder of Teachers Empowerment Network
